The hut has a round fireplace and two stoves and firewood for heating. Please use firewood sparingly. Please note that it takes some time before the hut is properly warm.
During the winter, you should heat ONLY the kitchen and the second bedroom if you have reserved the cabin for a small group. This way, the living room heats up faster and less wood is consumed. Close the door of the bedroom that is not heated to keep the heat in the rooms where you stay.
The hut has no electricity.
The hut has three battery-operated LED lanterns for lighting. Please bring your own D-size batteries! We also recommend using a headlamp, which leaves your hands free to do chores around the hut. For safety reasons, candles must be burned on a non-combustible surface and constantly monitored.
A gas stove and crockery.
When the gas bottle runs out, a replacement gas bottle can be found in the hut.
There is no running water in the hut.
The water quality of the well is not monitored. Water from the well can be used for washing the dishes. Do not drink!

There are locked carts at the parking area for transporting belongings. The same code is used for the cart lock as for the hut. Remember to mix up the numbers after use.

Although Finland has a broad network for mobile phones, there are some areas in the park without signal. If this happens try to climb to a higher place or go into an open area. Check the mobile network coverage with your mobile phone operator before your trip.
There are fire alarms at wilderness huts, but we recommend to bring a 9 V battery and/or your own travel fire alarm with you.
